A very special Mid-century modern find in the sought after Riceville Community of East Asheville! Enjoy as a private estate, go short term rental on the residence, and/or have the option of subdividing with city water on 3.67 acres per Buncombe County planning. The potential of this home is endless. This home was owned by the same family since the 70’s and being sold as-is and with an almost new heat pump. The bright and open main level plan shows off the gleaming hardwoods, brick wood burning fireplace, and a lovely, livable floorplan. All rooms and hallways are of ample size for today’s comfort and styles. All of this with a full basement and partially finished den and fireplace to add more living area if you choose. Sit on the front or back porch to enjoy privacy, serenity, wildlife and still be in close proximity to downtown, shopping, schools, healthcare, and less than 4 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
